It’s time to share the fourth film in our “10 Stories for 10 Years” Instagram series — “Solving For Zero,” a documentary created for Wondrium.
Based on Bill Gates' best-selling book, "How to Avoid a Climate Disaster,” the film focuses on five innovators from around the world whose organizations are fighting climate change in bold ways.
Principal photography for the project took our team to five countries — the US, Sweden, the Dominican Republic, France, and Kenya. Although production was complex, learning more about the technological innovators involved in this project was an inspiring experience for everyone involved.
